1. Object manipulations performed by our biohybrid robots.
Object manipulations performed by our biohybrid robots. (A) Sequential images of a pick-and-place operation of the biohybrid robot by selective contractions of the skeletal muscle tissues generated with electrical pulses (electrical field, 1.5 V/mm; frequency, 50 Hz; duration, 2 ms). (B) Sequential images of picking up a square frame by the operation of two biohybrid robots. Skeletal muscle tissues were contracted selectively by applying electrical pulses (electrical field, 1.5 V/mm; frequency, 50 Hz; duration, 2 ms). Scale bars, 1 cm.
